For Venus, the section's standard visual reporting form should preferably be used, copies available from the DIrector, or as a PDF here.

Images should be submitted in a standard format if possible, because otherwise the Director has to rename the files.

All information should be written upon the image, not sent in an email or separate text file. Above all, details of any filters should be given, and, if possible the bandwidth at half-maximum should be stated.

The file should contain the date and the observer’s initials: 2007-04-30-RJM for an image taken on 2007 April 30 by R.J.McKim. The observer is free to add a specific time to this filename, thus 2007-04-30-1200UT-RJM, and so on.
